My Experience and Training

I graduated from Concordia University in leisure and therapeutic studies in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I also took classes in the fields of business, Psychology, and Exercise Science at both Concordia and Mc Gill University. I did several internships over the course of my studies, including, The Douglas Hospital, youth centers, and old age homes.

After graduating from university, I founded Exercise Plus, a business that offered personal fitness training, group exercise classes, sports nutrition, and fitness assessments. A year later, I opened The Fitness Appraisal Center, located in Monster Gym, in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Quebec, where I conducted health and fitness assessments and offered nutritional counseling. I was highly motivated, loved working with people and had a fully booked practice within a year.

I obtained my personal training and sport nutrition certification from C.O.R.F.I.T, Les Entreprises Andre Begin, F.I.T.T., and CAN-FIT-PRO. I am F.I.T.T., and CAN-FIT-PRO certified to lead group exercise classes. I am certified by The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CPAFLA-Certified) to conduct health and fitness assessments and counseling.

I also hold a number of other certifications and workshop certificates in the area of fitness training, bodybuilding, and nutrition that I used to lead my cleints toward an improved lifestyle encompassing nutrition and physical fitness training.

Back to school following my own personal health crisis...

At the age of 27, I found myself at the Montreal Cardiology Hospital. After undergoing several medical examinations, I was diagnosed with a stomach ulcer. This condition has developed due to an overloaded lifestyle. Already a health and fitness practitioner, I was surprised to have developed this condition. I was able to heal this ulcer with the help of a naturopath, while receiving support from my family doctor to heal in an integrated way; combining medical and natural methods.

This experience led me to go back to school to study nautical medicine. I received my training as a Naturopath from L'institut de Medecine Naturelle, Montreal, Quebec. It was a 7-year intensive and life-changing program for me.

I continue to take elective courses in health, wellness, and natural medicine every year and regularly attend conferences to keep up with the new research, techniques, as well as to update my skills and learn new ones. I am licenced by L'Ordre des Naturotherapeutes du Quebec.

Along the way, I discovered I had a talent and passion for massage therapy. Today, as a Massage Therapist, I provide a nurturing, centering, healing massage experience aimed at activating all the senses and rejuvenating the mind, body, and spirit. Although I am trained in therapeutic and deep tissue massage, I prefer to offer a sensory massage experience that ignites all the senses and rejuvenates the being by bringing balance, nurturing, and a deep sense of relaxation.

I received my training in massage therapy and lymphatic drainage massage from L'Institut de Medecine Naturelle, Montreal, Quebec. Areas of study included Anatomy, Neuro-Sensory Relaxation Massage, Therapeutic Massage, Relaxation Massage, Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Re-education Respiratoire.

I am licenced by L'Ordre des Massothérapeutes et Thérapeutes en Drainage Lymphatique du Quebec.

Ever since this alarming issue with my health, I started including the principles of natural medicine in my practice to better help my clients achieve their health and well-being objectives, all the while respecting my scope of practice and working alongside my clients physicians.

"My education and over 25 years of experience

has equipped me with extensive knowledge in

holistic nutrition, health coaching,

nurturing body treatments,

and preventive health.

Drawing on these skills, knowledge, education,

and experience, I work with clients to help

them make lifestyle changes that

produce real and lasting results."
